Hi. I am new to the forum. I have a 1994 Thunderbolt fishing boat with a Evinrude 115 hp V4.
I have a question about the way it has been running lately. I sure would appreciate any help I could get because I dont know anything about outboards.
I have been fishing a few times this year and my boat ran just fine. Yesterday I stopped by our local Exxon gas station and topped it off with fuel. Then when I got out to the lake I was cruising out to my favorite hole when all of a sudden it just died. It started right back up and went another 3 or 4 minutes and then died again. I reached back there and pumped the bulb and it started up and ran fine for another 3 or 4 minutes, but it kept dying on me. Everytime it would die I would pump the bulb (which was soft), but when it was running it was hard. It wont stay running any longer than just a few minutes at a time. Does anybody have any idea what this could be? Thank you
